Too many posters are concerned about Romo vs. Henson. Talk about not seeing the forest for the trees! I couldn't give a rat's rear end about that competition.

What I'm concerned about is our FUTURE at the QB position and whether that QB can bring our team to the point that we can compete in the future with the likes of Manning, Brady, Palmer, Rothlisberger. (Bledsoe is nothing but a good, veteran bridge to the future.)

But If anyone on this board honestly thinks Tony Romo will be able to do that they are kidding themselves.

And, imo,Henson simply doesn't have the consistent mechanics to be a starting QB in the NFL. Whoever told Jerry in that college scouting report that Henson was an Aikman clone missed the boat. Aikman was the model of mechanics. Henson will never be consistently accurate with his throws simply because of his release. Period.

The Dallas Cowboys will NOT return to elite status until we get our QB of the future. We are exactly where Pittsburgh was 3 years ago before they hit the jackpot and drafted Rothlisberger.

The problem, is that there is no hype surrounding Henson. The only place that hype exists, is in the minds of those fans who are so inexplicably opposed to the idea of Henson succeeding, that they view any reports on good progress as hype. Guess what? There haven't even been reports on good progress. There is no hype, but the anti-Henson crowd must claim there is, so they have some reason to speak out against this player who has done nothing but give it his best shot.

I know what happened. You, and those like you, took a stand. When Henson came in, people were legitimately excited - here we had a blue-chip prospect - what's not to get excited about? But there are those, who care more about "calling it" and having something to flaunt, as if that means a thing, than they care about the Cowboys. So you took your stand; whether your reasoning was (a) He is a failed baseball player. This has not worked before, it's not going to work again. (b) His heart must not be in the game, because his first love was baseball, and he chased the money. (c) I didn't like him at Michigan....or any one of the litany of ******** cracks that people who do not want this guy to succeed have come up with to degrade the player.

There is no "hype". There never was. There was excitement, and hope. There is "hype" around Pat Watkins - are you sick of that? I wonder what the difference is?

Give me a break.

There is plenty of hype around this kid. From morons clamoring over him being a #1 pick the NFL draft to morons claiming his average, at best, season in the NFLE shows them anything at all, to morons clamoring for Henson to be given a chance he has never earned like it is a gift. There IS hype to this kid, and if you dont see it, dont talk about it.

– Eau de Oxnard: one thing I won’t miss are the water trucks that make regular passes over the dirt parking lots just outside the practice fields. I don’t know where they get the water, but it sends the scent of stockyards wafting over practice.

this comment about the water smelling bad - that's bull****, right...?

Remember, in the NFL, it's all about who has the best QBs.

yea because last years superbowl definately showed the best qb.

winning superbowls is about TEAMS not qb play. I think romo can get it done. I love how people think u have to have a homegrown star at qb to win a superbowl.

No. There's not. Not on this board. If the teddy bears attending your tea party are hyping him, take it up with them. But there has been no hype here. And unless you are a more recent incarnation of a previously banned idiot, then there's no way you could have observed hype that I have not seen. When Henson went to Europe, there were honest posts about how he performed, whether good, or bad. There was no glowing prose about how the great Henson was tearing NFLE apart, because those would have been lies. On one hand, there has been honest, open evaluation of his performance, and on the other - moronic disdain.
